[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 2111879, member: 216415"] I agree about the Glycemic Index numbers being unreliable but I don't understand why you say insulin resistance makes the whole idea unworkable. Those with insulin resistance have a problem getting glucose out of their bloodstream into their muscles, it happens eventually it just takes time. If low GI foods, and I agree the tables are only a very rough guide, provide that time then that must help. As someone else said Type 1's rely on high GI to rapidly resolve a hypo, dextrose tablets or jelly babies are more useful than the same amount of carbs from say raw carrot. As far as [USER=512465]@bernard41[/USER] is concerned then the route to go is low carb rather than just low GI and there have been some excellent information suggested above, not only about diet but getting a meter, which will prove he is on the right track.
